An interesting compilation of material presented in amazing quality from TDOLZ - the best
available versions thus far.  The first four tracks from Stockholm were recorded from the
soundboard on March 14, 1969 (the exact date may still be in dispute).

As the CD back cover claims, this Stockholm material was "Taken From The Master Reel To Reel". 
Statements like that are always questionable, but there's no doubt this is a clean and near
excellent recording.  This material has also been available on Tarantura's "Kicks" - which used
to be the best available version of this show - but as hinted at earlier, this release on TDOLZ
is a major upgrade from the Tarantura title.

Two tracks from the groundbreaking show at the Bath Festival on June 28, 1970 are presented in what
TDOLZ says is "Taken From The Legendary Analogue LP On KRISHNA Label". This entire show is available
on many different titles, but the sound quality has always been regarded as very poor to fair, at best.
These two tracks do provide a significantly cleaner but still slightly distorted sound from the SAME
source tape used, for example, on the 2CD title "Bath 1970" from Le-Mon Recordings. Some claim this is
recorded off the soundboard.

"Missing Links" on TDOLZ is presented in very nice packaging - typical of TDOLZ. The unique cover has also
been seen as the Turkish LP cover for Led Zeppelin II. Definitely a very good release by any standard, and
highly recommended to the collector who already has almost everything.
